Look for pictures that reflect how you think each character looks. These can be current or past movie stars, current or past actors and/or actresses, or pictures you draw that reflect the images of the characters.
Create a collage with these pictures, putting the character's name under his or her picture. You may decide what materials to use for your collage. THE COLLAGE MAY NOT BE BIGGER THAN A 12 X 18 SHEET OF PAPER. These will NOT be posted on the WIKI.
Be creative! Have fun with this assignment. It will be interesting to see how everyone pictures each character.

Chapter 2
Two or three bulleted sentences explaining your events.
Setting: The year is 1902; the place is Indain Island, just of the coast of Devon, England. Chapter 1: The main characters arrive at a town on Devon's coast called Sticklehaven where they will be brought to a ship to be dropped of at the mysterious Indian Island. The ten guest are about to find out that there vacation is about to be a stirred up mess filled with murder. Chapter 2: When they arrive, the ten characters find an enchanting mansion that looks beutiful, but they will soon find out that tragety is about to happen. When they walk in they notice a peom about the ten little Indian boys. Chapter 3: A voice speaks out of a record player and accuses each one of them of murder. All of them notice ten little glass Indian statues sitting in a china cabinet. Chapter 4: Anthony Marston, the youngest of the ten, suddenly fell on the ground, choking on his drink. Dr. Armstrong then told every one that he is dead because of poison that was in his drink. Chapter 5: They think that there is a killer on the island named U.N. Owen. They think that Tony Martson died of Potassium Cynide Chapter 6: Dr. Armstrong is woken up by Mr. Rodgers because he said there is a problem with the wife. Dr. Armstrong proclaims that she had died.
Nik- Good explanations on your plot line - you have listed the main happenings in each chapter. Mrs. M Chapter 7: Vera and Mrs. Brent walk the shore in search of the missing supply boat. Mrs. Brent told Vera of Beatrice Taylor and about her disgusting suicide. Chapter 8: They have a meeting about the killer and they all think that it is one of them. They hear footsteps in the attic and they think its the killer, but it is not. It was Rodgers moving to a different room. Chapter 9: Dr. Armstrong goes down stairs to get General McCarther. The guest then hear footsteps coming from downstairs and then Dr. Armstrong says that the general is dead. Chapter 10: Philip Lombard and Vera try to guess who the killer was. She thought that the killer was Dr. Armstrong, and Philip thought the killer was Justice Wargrave. Mrs. Brent thinks that the killer is Beatrice Taylor, the person he murdered. Chapter 11: Rodgers went missing in the morning. They found him in a shack outside with his head split open by an ax while chopping sticks, just as the poem said. Chapter 12: Mrs. Brent felt a little light headed so she stayed in the dining room after dinner to get a hold of her self. They came back in the room to check on her but she died by what they thought was a bee sting, but was really potassium synide. Chapter 13: They find Mr. Wargrave in his room with his wig on. They check his head and it had a whole in it from a gun shot. Chapter 14: Mr. Blore stayed up late and then heard creaking and footsteps in the house. He went to Dr. Armstorngs door and could not hear a response, so he and Phillip Lombard went looking for him on the island but could not find him. Chapter 15: Lombard and Vera were sitting on the beach when they felt a thud and a scream. They went to investagate and Blore was on the patio with a marble clock in the shape of a bear that smashed in his forhead. Chapter 16: Vera and Lombard find Dr. Armstrongs body. Vera takes the gun from Lombard and shoots him. Vera then goes to her room and kills herself.
Epilogue:
Police arrive at the Island. Sir Thomas Legge, Assistant Commissioner was surprised to find no survivors and no killer. Manuscript: Mr. Justice Wargrave had done it all. He faked his death then killed everyone on the island by using their gulit as the weapon and then he killed himself The climax of the story is when Judge Wargrave told everyone that he was the murder.
Nik- Most people think that the climax is when the reader finds out that Judge Wargrave is the murderer. However, if you think about it, that is when all the answers get resolved and the reader can tie up all the loose ends. That would then be the resolution - the solution to the mystery.
Think about when the mood or tone of the story really takes a turn. That would be the climax! When does the key character get 'killed'? How does the story change after that? Once Judge Wargrave is 'shot', the others have no one they consider to be their leader. Up until now, Judge Wargrave does all the thinking and provides the 'logic' to solving the mystery. He, of course, knows all along that he is the killer, but he also knows that no one else thinks that. Therefore, faking his death is essential to everything else working out. That is when the story truly changes. The following events become part of the falling action.

Vera Claythorne: Vera Claythorne, as stated in the beginning of the b, travels third-class, which makes her sound poorer than some people. For her previous job, she was a gym teacher at a third-class and she is going for secratary and she killed Cyrl. U.N. Owen: WE don't know this person very much, but we are pretty that he is the main reason that the ten people are on the island. Owen is the suspected owner of the island. Phillip Lombard: He is the youngest person on the island. He lives in the fast lane and killed 21 tribal people. Dr. Armstrong: He is a doctor. He killed a girl named Louisa Mary Clees.
Nik- I think Anthony Marston is the youngest one on the island, but you're right about Philip Lombard. He is responsible for the deaths of the 21 natives. Mrs. M
Question#2
Assignment #2 Due October 22
Put a line above Assignment #1; assignment #2 will go above assignment #1.
Read chapter two.
Choose one of the following: suspense or foreshadowing.
With your small group, find four examples of suspense OR foreshadowing in chapter two.
Each member of your group must write on his or her WIKI page the exact wording from the book - that means type the sentences exactly as they are written.
Then, in a well-written paragraph, explain why these sentences clearly show either suspense or foreshadowing.
Read chapter three for Monday, October 25.
Response: Mr.Blore says he doesnt like his job that he is going to be doing. "Never thought I'd be doin this sort of job. Good thing, perhaps, that one can't see the future."(pg 36) this one makes me wonder if he got the job that he makes sure that everything goes to the poem plan.
Response:"He (Phillip Lombard) thought to himself: 'He'll ask me now if I was old enough to be in the War. These old boys always do.' But General Macarthur did not mention the War." (pg 22) - - This makes me wonder if General MaCarthur already knows that Lombard wasn't in the war. Maybe he's been aware of Lombard's past?
Response: "There was something sinister about it."(Pg. 22) This could foreshadow something really bad happening at the house or that happened in the house before. An en event that could be bad that happened before that the former owner of the house, the American millionare, could have been killed by mister Owen. The event that could happen there might be the killing of all the guests.
Response: "'There's a wasp crawling up your arm. No - keep quite still.' He made a convincing pounce. 'There. It's gone...'" (pg 20) When Phillip Lombard got the wasp off of Vera's Claythrone's arm, I made a connection between that and the Indian poem on page 31. It says, "Six little Indian boys playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were five..." This also makes me suspicous about the poem in general - there are ten guests and ten Indians. Maybe this poem explains how each guest is killed.
Great connection between the bee/wasp and the poem. May be a foreshadowing of what's to come..... Mrs. M
Question#1
how does a mystery novel differ from a narrative?
how might the title be a clue to the story?
1. A mystery novel has a lot of supense and thrilling action that keeps the reader reading. They always have this unusual feeing that wont calm down until you read the entire book. A narrative book usually is boring and tell a story about people that is usually tells about howthey feel insead of you feeling it yourself.
2.It might tell what happens to everyone in the story. I think they all die.
Nik- While you think that narrative stories are dull, if they are well-written, they interest the reader. While the suspense and excitement of a mystery keeps readers on the edge, don't discount the value of narratives!
